I actually briefly considered gutting one of the dead IDE drives laying around the house to make an enclosure for my SSD. Instead, I overengineered a ghetto bracket - think 4 bits of acrylic, 4 alu angle bits, and 12 screws. It wasn't until I'd fitted it into the HDD cage that it occurred I could have done the same with one piece of acrylic and two pieces of alu angle. I should have gotten a pic of that with the SSD mounted - that beautiful SSD mounted on such a hack-job bracket would have demotivated you all for the rest of the day, at least.
